I thought it called for GL-4 or GL-5 SAE 90w gear oil. No?

10 mm allen head socket didn't fit for me. I used 5/16" ....and a generous amount of PB blaster .... and a breaker bar

I'm going to ask what is probably a really dumb question....if the torque setting for these is 35 to 36 ft-lbs, why does it practically take a breaker bar to take off the fill and drain plugs? Pretty sure they've never been removed or, knowing who the PO was he had the dealer do it previously.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
Dirt/grim and constant temperature changes might have something to do with it.
I used this in a 80-90 for the front and rear. Read the overview. Just right for our rigs if you choose non synthetic.

You mean 7/16" ?
Dealers have no time for torque settings. Rattle gun everything. Destroying underbelly bolts, drain plugs, wheel bolts, etc.
Ordering the stuff necessary to do this now. One of the washer kits available on amazon with washers for the front and rear diffs plus transfer case, https://www.amazon.com/Differential...8&qid=1533748578&sr=1-13&keywords=90430-18008 , includes part #90430-24003 for the front diff drain; it's copper, i.d. 24, o.d. 32, which is bigger than the one mentioned at the beginning of this thread. Anyone know which is correct for an '05 LX470?
Thanks..

Im sorry i meant i need to purchase the right allen wrench. The link looks like it verifies the 10mm hex wrench.
Ah, gotcha. I almost figured that's what you meant, but hope it helps regardless.
Just a little tip... don't put the magnetic plug in the fill hole. Some idiot did that and ruined two perfectly good days.
Ya i saw that thread during my research.

Shhhhhhh..... nothing to see there.....
But the recovery was magnificent. You'll never be good at recoveries if you don't foul things up now and then.

Umm, just to be clear. Are you referring to the deep plug that sticks further into the diff? The low profile ones are immune to that.
Yeah, I had the magnetic plug where the magnet extended maybe 1/2"-3/4" out of the plug itself. When I got a new one from the dealer, based on the part number I looked up, it looked just like my old one. The transfer case plug had the low profile/recessed magnet on my truck.
I can laugh at it now. Then, not so much. Now... drilling out a broken EZout is today's fun.
